“Women are just as ruthless as men!!!!”

And men are as ruthless as….who?

Ugly is ugly, angry is angry….that’s true. Maybe you should soften up a bit Bubbie

Women are just as ruthless as men!!!!

One can look the picture another way too, “Men are as loving as women”.

All is possible on the “good ship lollipop”.

Just like sheela and her feminine band of thugs did at the ranch… another dim wit sailing on the “good ship lollipop” on it’s way to Fantasyland!!! Women are just as ruthless as men!!!

Beautiful, Bhagwati, beautiful. That really captures the essence – sensing each other across the globe. And in fact things like these CAN be done, can happen..(Just have to check the timezone!)

Nice with some female touch in this forum. U and Chetna a.o. certainly seem to soften things up and bring a more spiritual, meditative focus. Thx

Beloveds,

The call for a world-wide meditation set at 7 pm on January 19th is brilliant! It is an energy happening moving from timezone to timezone, so let’s go for it! Forget all this babble about what should be and not be, this is informal and nobody is forced to do this. Just whosoever wants to enjoy the buzz and sense each other all over the globe and with love and gratefulness to be in the body enjoying the drama!

With love, Bhagawati

The question is not of the Master’s life and death, THE QUESTION BASICALLY IS OF YOUR RESPONSE.

So don’t be worried about when I am gone. Those who are missing me now, will be missing me then too — no loss. THOSE WHO ARE LIVING MY MESSAGE NOW, THEY WILL GO ON LIVING IT. And if they go on living it, they cannot help but spread it. I am not depending on books — all the religions have depended on books — I am depending on you!

How about using one’s job or profession as cathartic and healing meditation. Farming, construction work, ditch digging, fitness trainer, even hobbies- long distance runner, bicyclist, swimmer, some physical type of sport. Once I watched a program on cable(satellite) tv. It was about a primitive african tribe that conducted frequent rituals, how frequent I don’t recall. The men would gather around a fire and dance around it all night or until everyone fell to the ground in complete exhaustion, you could see each man go into a trance or state where their eyes rolled up and their bodies froze. Seemed to me each experienced a satori- a brief glimpse of their true nature. If such simple, uncomplicated people had to do that to get a satori, what do you think us thick headed, neurotic people have to do, to get to the same state? Us, western, neurotic folks need a hellava more intense, exhausting meditating, I think.

I know that, that’s the whole point in doing something physical totally so the mind stops!

The same will happen with the feeling I think. Loving totally will shut the mind up! That’s the hardest, that’s dropping the ego, i.e. mind!

Anyways! Whoever has read Osho is well equipped with such talks! Better to meditate than talk about it!

Chetna, total is something you do with your body, not your mind. You cannot “totally” use the mind to stop the mind, because that is just adding more mind.

“….and standing a little bit distant from my thoughts”

and that a little bit says that it was not total. And of course Alok I am with you with that a little bit. We are not total, hence not enlightened, otherwise, they said one moment is enough to realise.

Why I laugh about three weeks as I know (only talking about me now) that my 4 years of everyday mediation can total to 1 min of MEDITATION! I think we tend to call meditation just our one hour etc of DOING A TECHNIQUE, but where is the silent mind? No experience and no experiencer. Hence, I believe that even one life is not enough to train our mind at least to calm down.

They say that we only need 4 min in silence to see who we are (to become self-realised). And who out of us is self-realised? Mostly we are monkeys talking about meditation without having experienced it at all.

Total to me is not subjective, it is existential! God is total! Love is total and hopefully one day I am total!
